Dire wolves and mammoths, artwork
Dire wolves and mammoths. Pack of dire wolves (Canis dirus) surrounding two mammoths (Mammuthus sp.) in North America, 150 thousand years ago during the Upper Pleistocene Epoch. The dire wolf was found in North and South America. It had a short and stocky build and grew up to 1.5 metres in length. Mammoths were large mammals, weighing on average around 6 to 8 tonnes. They were found across North America, Europe and Asia. Both animals became extinct around 10, 000 years ago

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library takes us back in time to the Upper Pleistocene Epoch, 150 thousand years ago. It depicts a mesmerizing scene of dire wolves and mammoths coexisting in North America during this prehistoric era. The artwork showcases a pack of formidable dire wolves, known scientifically as Canis dirus, encircling two majestic mammoths (Mammuthus sp. ). The dire wolf was a fearsome predator found in both North and South America, characterized by its short and stocky build that could reach up to 1.5 meters in length. On the other hand, mammoths were colossal mammals weighing an astonishing average of 6 to 8 tonnes. These magnificent creatures roamed across North America, Europe, and Asia. Sadly, both species met their demise around 10,000 years ago when they became extinct due to unknown reasons. This artwork serves as a poignant reminder of the rich biodiversity that once thrived on our planet. The illustration beautifully captures the icy landscape these animals inhabited with snow-covered terrain and freezing temperatures prevalent during this period. Its intricate details allow us to appreciate the biological diversity present during the Upper Pleistocene while also highlighting the importance of preserving our natural history for future generations. In summary, this stunning print transports us back in time to witness an awe-inspiring moment between dire wolves and mammoths—a testament to Earth's ancient past filled with remarkable fauna and flora that we must cherish and protect today
